Family Photo Valentines

One of our darling grandmas likes to give my kids cookie cutters at Valentines Day.  We have a LOT of heart shaped cookie cutters!  This year, we decided to make some decorations out of them, also using some of our left over Christmas cards.

Materials needed:
Cookie Cutters
Photos
scrapbook paper
elmers glue
glue stick
scissors
pencil
ribbon
beads

First, trace around the cookie cutter onto scrapbook paper and cut out heart.

Next, using glue stick, glue pictures to the hearts.

I tried to make this easy to see....

Knot the ribbon around the top of the cookie cutter.  Thread the ribbon through the bead, to keep the knot in place.  If you have a bead with a smaller hole, you may have to use a needle to get the ribbon through.  This was the hardest part of the project, and the part I had to do, instead of the kids.  bleh.
Knot the top of the ribbon together.

Dot elmers glue around the cookie cutter and place the heart on the glue.

Look at these cute girls working so hard!

Let them dry and you are all done!

Hang them on hooks, or from a frame.

And do you like these pictures!  They were taken by the talented Katie at Sweet Rose!
